FAQs

How much do websites cost and how long does it take to create a website?

We design and develop custom websites, brochure websites, eCommerce websites and everything in between. For the most part, every web site is different, which makes it impossible to give a flat price for any particular site. No matter what your budget is, we can find a solution for you.

How often should I update my website?

Your content should be updated as often as possible. Not only does fresh and unique content keep your visitors engaged, but it’s also great for SEO. Search engines love new content, especially when it’s written with the user in mind. We provide content creation services so that you don’t have to spend your time updating your website. We can do it for you!

How often should I redesign my website?

You should have your website redesigned every 24 months. You only get one chance to make a first impression. If your competition has a more compelling website than you, they are likely getting the website traffic and the business you are after.

What's the best language to program a website?

Your website language really depends on the required features of your website. We can help you select a language that works for your needs today.

How do you make a website search engine friendly?

Search engines (such as Google) send out crawlers to index the text on your site and determine what it’s about and how to rank you in results. These bots cannot harvest elements that are created by Javascript, or ‘see’ images (though they do check alt tags). While all these things may make the site look better, they do little to nothing in terms of search engine optimization. The following is our general guideline for building websites with SEO in mind:

Update Frequency

Title Tag

Meta Description

Keywords

Semantic HTML

Structured Navigation

HTML Sitemap

XML Sitemap

Most Importantly – Quality Content

How much is a mobile app?

The complexity for building a mobile app is much more than a website, typically cost 2 – 4 times the cost. It’s common for a Custom Mobile App to start at about $30,000 per platform. The cost really depends on the complexity of the app, the programming language and your target devices. There are many things to consider before getting started:

The app should be unique and provide some utility at a minimum.

What devices do you want to target.

If the App is published publicly to the App Stores you will want to factor in the ongoing cost of App Maintenance to help insure that the app is compatible with new OS and device releases.

What’s the end goal of your mobile application? To promote your business, to automate services, to create a user base, to sell in a few years, or the typical answer of all of the above? This needs to be defined and shared with your app developer so that the technology selected to develop your app and so that the project timeline coincides with your goals.

Do you provide free estimates?

We can provide you a fixed estimate at the end of our Solution Design process which allows us to create your apps technical requirements, solution architecture, and app design needs.

How do you make money with Apps?

There are several ways, depending on whether yours is a FREE APP or a PAID APP. Obviously a PAID APP can earn you money with each download. Marketing the APP through App Store Optimization or mobile APP advertising can also drive tons of traffic. If your APP has a substantial number of users, you can even publish ads within your FREE APP as another revenue source.

How long does it take to create an app?

That all depends on what your APP needs to do. It could be as little as a month or as long as a year. It all depends on your projects unique requirements.

Do I have to create a separate App for Android, iPhone, and iPad?

Yes and No. Depending on your programming language native or hybrid, you can have unique code bases for each application or a unified code base that will allow us to “Port” your hybrid application for your target devices.

Because Apple apps are not compatible with Android and vice-versa they use different operating systems and programming languages, have different screen sizes which require additional programming for the apps to render properly on your target devices. We can help you with Porting your APP or creating a new app, right here in-house. No problem.
